ATLAS Experiment and the Canadian Contribution

     The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will provide 14 TeV
centre-of-mass proton-proton collisions. The ATLAS detector, is designed
to take full advantage of the LHC discovery potential. The ATLAS detector
and its experimental program will be briefly discussed, with emphasis on
its Canadian content. Canada's contribution to the detector is focused on
the Liquid Argon Calorimeter, particularly Endcap Hadronic Calorimeter,
Forward Hadronic Calorimeter, Front End-Board Electronics, and Endcap
Signal Cyogenic Feedthroughs.
